Trail UpdatePuerco Canyon Fire Road - Malibu-10-18-2002 Well, I went up yesterday just to see if the way through back up to the Backbone, Bulldog or Corral Cyn had reopend. The fence and the teamster looking guy standing next to his big Chevy 3/4 ton Dual Rear tire pickup were very persuasive that at this time, on this particular day, this road is private and definitely not mt-bike-frienedly. He did however call me "Sir" and apologized for the closure. "have a nice ride DOWN "sir". (Spooky) Maybe I'll try it during the weekend. Anybody else have any other updates? There were no other fat tire tracks in the dust to be found.

Trail UpdatePuerco Canyon-Even though there is a guard, and fence, they still let you through. One year ago it was a little tougher, but with the help of CORBA and our persistence its easier. Just ride it from the top or the bottom. Doug Taub a 49 year old Die-hard Enthusiast riding a Merlin Echo from So Cal

Trail UpdateOne More Piece Of Precious Earth-It is a sad day when a piece of earth that has served many people for years is closed by those who want to profit from it. I participated in nearly all of the VVA races from '81 on there as well as just riding, and even if it isn't the full kick ass trail, it is still a part of the history of our sport, and a fun place to ride also. The climb will be missed as well as a pretty screamin' fireroad downhill.

There are many trails that we don't need to worry about government and greed taking away, but this is just another one lost.

A sad day for humanity. But it won't stop me from having fun. It shouldn't stop you either.Ride rating: IntermediateRide distance: 6 or 26 Elevation change: 1500-2000Singletrack=20% Truck Trail=70% DEVO a 38 year old Die-hard Enthusiast riding a GPI Racing Alluvion from L.A. Ca

Trail UpdateA group of us(riders) who live in Corral Cyn have been riding this trail for many years (over 10). We have an attorney who is part of our group is planning on filing a lawsuit against the new owner of the property who is now denying access to a great trail that we have been riding for years. We are also planning on contacting the California Coastal Commission to see what action they may be willing to take. This Property is now owned by James Cameron the creator of the film "Titanic". Start your ride from the top of Corral not the bottom at Puerco. It is called McPeak Motorway. The ride is still open, take the trail that drops into Corral to the North, just prior to the guard. It is very hard to see. Do not go all the way down to where the guard sits in his car as he will tell you that you can't pass. Don't forget to check you brakes before the ride as it's a screamer downhill! Obviously Mr. Cameron doesn't ride. What a shame! Please contact the Coastal Commission in Ventura and let them know how you feel. We will update this message when the situation changes.Ride rating: AdvancedRide distance: 5 miles Elevation change: 1500ft.Corral Locals XC a 17 year old Cross-Country Rider riding a Giant Rainier from Malibu, CA.
